Life Sentence with Sissy Doutsiou

14/7/2023

0 Comments

 
Sissy Doutsiou is an actor and director of the Institute for Experimental Arts in Athens, Greece. I'd met Sissy in 2019 when I attended the Athens International Video Poetry Festival, organised by Sissy and the Institute. There was so much to see in that Festival, but I particularly remember being blown away by the intensity of her live performance that I watched. So it was exciting back in April when Sissy approached me to make a film together. It's been a challenging project - a new way of collaborating, the subject matter, and working with two languages. Take a look at the results ... or some screenshots below.

This year the Bath Spa University MIX Conference was hosted at the British Library, alongside their digital storytelling exhibition.

You can read more about it in a review post I've written on Moving Poems.com

I was fortunate to be invited to present in Panel 12: Remixing the archive – creative digital reimaging, reworking and reuse. I shared the new project that I’m working on with writer Toby Martinez de las Rivas and sound artist Neda Milenova Mirova that uses, and is inspired by, a photographic archive at the Museum of English Rural Life.

Radical Repetition

Radical Repetition ... such an interesting theme for thought around ... this conference panel for the London Conference in Critical Thought was conceived and organised by Dr Lee Campbell:

​"Andy Warhol once said, ‘I like boring things. I don’t want it to be essentially the same – I want it to be exactly the same... because the more you look at the same exact thing, the more the meaning goes away, and the better and emptier you feel’ (Warhol 1980, 50). In contrast, Arthur Koestler asserts that ‘habits are the indispensable core of stability and ordered behaviour; they also have a tendency to become mechanized and to reduce man to the status of a conditioned automaton’ (Koestler 1970, 98), and goes on to suggest that ‘the creative act, by connecting previously unrelated dimensions of experience, enables him to attain to a higher level of mental evolution. It is an act of liberation - the defeat of habit’ (Koestler 1970, 98)
This stream aims to set up a discursive space to explore Warhol’s well-known love of repetition paired with Koestler’s seemingly condemnation of repetition. We will seek to theorise, articulate and demonstrate how radical forms of repetition can be creative, transgressive, disruptive, politicized subversion and acts of liberation within themselves."

In my session 'Repetition and Collaging of the Self' I talked about my filmmaking process - 'Repetition at 25 frames per second', alongside Shirley Chubb - 'Repetition as performance: from commemoration to constancy' and Sinead Kempley - 'Mining the same seam, dredging and composting: mythopoetic art practice and discard studies'. And many more presentations over the 2 day conference.

Judging a Haibun Festival

3/7/2023

0 Comments

 
I first understood Haiku through the character of Ricky in the wonderful film Hunt for the Wilderpeople (a film written and directed by Taika Waikiki), and began to enjoy more of them through Dave Bonta. Haibun combines prose with a haiku. 

Dave Bonta and MovingPoems.com have been involved with a competition for Haibun, and along with Dave and James Brush, I was invited to be involved in judging the filmmaking stage of the competition. As Dave explained, in his presentation to Haiku North America 2023 in Cincinnatti, where the Haibun films were screened:
"Videopoetry (AKA cinepoetry or filmpoetry) is a hybrid of film and poetry that can work especially well with haibun. Like haibun, it hijacks a narrative medium for lyrical ends in a creative subversion of a typical audience’s expectations."

It was the first time I've been on the other side of the festival fence as a judge. While the three of us had some different views on what we thought were the strengths of the films submitted, we had a unanimous decision on the winner - Table for One by Matt Mullins.
For a full report on the competition, or to see other films shown at the event - please head over to Moving Poems.
